[Miata] First Winter Drive

[Larry Alster]

Light throttle touch

Use second gear if needed if the wheels spin too easy at start up

Watch out for the other idiots!!!

  Hi guys,

  I happen to be in downtown Chicago today (got in yesterday morning) for some work stuff.  I have to drive about 70 miles to get home starting this afternoon.  Apparently we're under some sort of crazy snow/sleet/ice storm.  I put a set of used Arctic Alpin winter tires (got them free from the buy who sold me my hard top) on my car last month, so hopefully I'm equipped.  

  I haven't driven a rear-wheel drive car in the winter since my old 5.0 mustang ~8 years ago, so this could be an experience.  I have lots of winter-driving experience, but I"m wondering if there are any subtleties specific to the Miata I should be aware of ? 

  Regards,
  Dillon
